Columbia Must Build tho Bridge,

Everything seems to look more

money that is wanted in grading this
part of the line.
The only hitch is at our own door.
The bridge across the river here is

Our friends across the river all

The Surplus.

1t seems that Mr.. Randall and his
followers arc willing to support bill
which is said to throw Off ten mil
lions from the tariff and forty mil.
lions from the internal revenue. Mr..
Hiscock has a bill which he says will
take off fifty millions Of taxes upon
tobacco, spirits and sugar. We pre-.
| sumo, therefore, that if these gentle
men and their followers can get Il
chance to present their plans to tile
House they will support a motion
that the House proceed to consider
revenue measures.
We wish to say, with all due EN-.
phasis, that we think the proposed
Randall and IIiscock bills are as bad
as they can be. They ought not to
be passed. The committee bill,
known as the Morrison bill, is far
better and deserving Of support.
But if the friends Of the former
measures are willing to vote to go to
the consideration of revenue bills
Democratic leaders should take ad-
vantage Of this disposition. The
House should at once proceed to the
consideration OF measures for the re.
duction Of taxes. The democratic
party cannot stand the consequences
Of failure to reduce the taxes, un.
less they make it clear to the people
that they have done all that they can
and that the responsibility Of failure
rests with the republicans. How
can this be made clear? A single
motion by the chairman Of the ways
and means is not sufficient effort
on the part Of the democrats. Every
week, at least, n motion to proceed
to the consideration of revenue meas.
urcs should have been made once
a week until the end of the session.
We hear it said that the motion is
not made because the revenue reform
democrats are apprehensive that if
the matter is brought before the
House the result will be bill reduc.
ing internal revenue taxes and maxi
ing merely nominal reduction Of
tariff taxes.
This leads us to say that the com.
mittee should not, by reason of such
an apprehension, fail to give the
House an opportunity to do whatever
it may think wise. If the House Of
Representatives wishes to throw Off
the taxes upon tobacco and spirits,
one of its committees should not
have the power to prevent it. 1t is
a monstrous thing to give to eight or
nine men the power of preventing
the House from doing it's will. If
the committee does use the power
which the absurd rules give it, and
does, by refusing opportunity for con.
sideration, prevent the House from
passing q bill to reduce taxation, the
democratic party will be responsible
for the action of the committee, and

"A Deal Concerning the Georgia Cen
trai OH Foot.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The agree
ment Of the transfer Of the major
quantity Of the preferred stock of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad to the Richmond
and West Point Terminal Company
was signed to-day. The parties now
in control Of the Richmond Terminal
Company are now negotiating for
the control Of the Georgia Central,
but no details can be obtained, and
many of the parties interested deny
that deal concerning the Georgia
Central is on foot. Calvin S. Bricc,
however, who conducted the negotia-
tions for the transfer of the East
Tennessee to the Richmond Termi-
nal Company, said to-day that the
Richmond Terminal people are now
arranging for the control Of the
Georgia Central. "She was a great
one and means more than is shown
on the surface"-this was the only
confirmation that could be obtained.
II. B. Hollins, who is one Of the
Georgia Central directors, denied
positively that any negotiations were
pending, and said that the only pro.
position made was refused long ago.
The Richmond Terminal officials
also contradicted the story Of their
having sought the control of the
Georgia Central. General Logan,
Vice.President of the Company, said
that the road under the management
of Gen. Alexander was in harmony
with his company and there was no
desire to change their rclations.--

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

decided that he had wounded deer
Aid Was following il, and after waiting
some time for him to come out, he
decided that he had gone to some of

evening.
Nothing more was thought Of IL un-
til late that evening when Eugene,
brother to deceased, went to Mar.

and when the story of his absence WAS
told 10 him he remarked that his

that evening if some accident had not
befallen him, and thai he was snre TINT
he had shot himself. The possibilities
of such an occurrence struck Mr..
Brown, and Immediately several of
the neighbours were summoned and
search instituted. They went as near as
they could judge, to the place where
the report of the gun was heard in the
morning, and in a little while they
found him PROSTATE upon the ground
with II fuil charge Of buckshot through,
his head. His body was laying along
side of Il log and his gun on the oppo-
site side. Ii is supposed that he got
upon the log and rested the breech of
his gun at his feet, and while standing
there it slipped off and the hammers
catching on the log caused one of them
to fall and exploded the cartridge,
which sent the deadly missiles crash
ing through his brain, entering al the
base of the right jaw and running up
ward causing, no doubt, instant death.
Prints of the hammers were found in
the bark of the log, on the side where
